The keyboard on machine w20-575-20 is acting strange. The machine is a
SPARC 5, and the problem with the keyboard is that every once in a
while, it locks up the computer as if someone had typed the "Stop-a"
sequence on the keyboard. The computer is frozen, asking the user the
question:
Type 'go' to resume
Type help for more information
ok
Typing 'go' fixes the computer, and the computer remains usable for
several hours. It's not a large problem, because it happens so
infrequently, but if it starts happening more often the keyboard will
probably become unusable.
